Did LeSean McCoy just call Bill Belichick overrated? Well, that seems to be the case as the former NFL running back shared his true thoughts on the New England Patriots head coach.
Speaking with Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show, McCoy said that he believes Belichick is a “good coach.” However, he doesn't think the Patriots tactician deserves the GOAT label that some people are giving him.
“All ‘the greatest' and ‘we’ve never seen anything like him.' That's bullcrap,” McCoy said before pointing out that Belichick was basically blessed to have Tom Brady as his quarterback for almost two decades.
“He's had Tom Brady. If you take away Tom Brady, you know what he is? He's under .500,” the two-time Super Bowl champ added.
LeSean McCoy also pointed out how the Patriots have struggled ever since Brady left the team in 2019. While TB12 has already won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bill Belichick and New England made the playoffs just once and were even destroyed by the Buffalo Bills in Wild Card round of that lone postseason run.

Adams noted that Brady developed under Belichick and wouldn't have been the same player without the legendary coach. But McCoy refuted that claim and noted that he doesn't think Belichick will be able to do the same to Mac Jones.
“I don't see where I give him so much credit. I don't see him developing quarterbacks. The offense, I don't see the team, they don't look the same to me,” McCoy added.
Belichick has a 295-147 record throughout his 28 seasons so far as an NFL head coach. It's clear that McCoy isn't too high on the 70-year-old as a coach, though Brady would probably say other wise given the respect the quarterback has on his former coach.
At the end of the day, to each their own.
